Lesson 7.1. Entering Resource Overtime Rates

Figure 7-1. Entering an overtime rate for a resource.

Most resources get paid extra for working more than the standard number of hours in a regular work day or week, otherwise known as overtime. By entering an overtime pay rate, Project will automatically apply this rate for any overtime hours worked by the resource.

1. Navigate to your Practice folder and open Lesson 7. Save the file as Costs.

   The Developers usually work a lot of overtime, so you'd better enter an overtime pay rate for them.

2. Click the Ovt. Rate field for the Developers resource.

   Their overtime rate should be 1.5 times their standard rate.

3. Type 45 in this resource's Ovt. Rate field and press Enter.

   Project will apply the overtime rate, as shown in Figure 7-1, to any overtime the resource works.
